Question 1 is a multiple choice question which involves the audience choosing which type of thriller openings they enjoy the most when watching thriller films, as you can see from the results the majority of the people who have participated in this survey have decided that they prefer Non-Linier narrative openings at the start of thriller films. This question has helped us decide on what type of opening we will have. Other results such as montage and Heavy edit piece were also popular, both with 3 votes each. All questions from now on are based on this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfYC_CBNtiM
Question 2 was if they liked the music used within the clip, 80% of the answers said yes, this suggests that we will need to use the same kind of music for our film.
Question 3 is an extended question for the people who said no, this question asked the public on what kind of music would they prefers, 70% said that they would prefer techno music instead of the current music used in this clip. This is probably because techno is more modern and also faster pace, so techno music would be perfect in something like a chase scene. There was one response and that answer was faster paced music, which we can relate to.
Question 4 is related to the setting and if they liked it, which in the clip was in an urban area. Almost everyone said yes. Apart from one response which was that they would like to see more wildlife. Are setting will be related and similar to the one in this clip.
Question 5 was about the costumes used, which in this clip was a specific uniform. Almost everyone like the costumes used, but in the responses people said they would like it to be more formal and also big brands, because of this in our own film we will be using costumes such as suits etc.
Question 6 is about the props and if they like the props used within the opening scene, everyone said yes apart from one response, which was that they would like to see the use of gadgets such as watches, phones and other electronic devices. This question has helped our group understand what props we will need to invest in for our film.
Question 7 is about the text and if they like the text used or not, 11 out of 14 people who answered the question said yes, meaning that we should use text similar to the text used in the clip. For the people who did not like the text responses show what they would like the text it be slower and also clearer. We could also take these points into account when it comes to editing our film.
Question 8 was about if they liked the location in the opening, all 15 people who participated in the questionnaire said yes, this means using a similar location will allow our film to be successful and also please the audience it’s aimed at (15+)
Question 9 is aimed at the weather, the majority of the people said that they do like the weather used, meaning normal dry/sunny weather will be needed for our film.
Question 10 is an extension for the people who said no on question 9; Rain was the most popular answer for people who do not like the original weather in the clip. Rain could be used, especially in thrillers; this is because it makes the film more dangerous and also quite eerie because of the sound of raindrops falling and hitting floor.
